Uhhh, porn is definitely addictive… not against banning or removing it, but…

“Addictive” means so many different things to different people at this point, it’s become useless. If you can compare the erotic materials I share with my spouse to heroin with a straight face, I’m not the one with a problem.

Lol, you jump straight up to haroin? Just because you and your wife have a healthy relationship with porn doesn’t mean it can’t be addictive to other people. If someone has physical withdrawal symptoms from not consuming the thing, it’s an addiction.

Like, caffeine is highly addictive, but you wouldn’t compare that with haroin.

I absolutely would compare caffeine with heroin when making the point that the term “addiction” has become so broad as to be meaningless.

It’s always incredibly ironic when the party that favors small govt, minimal State, is also the one that loves to make the most bullshit laws curtailing personal freedom.

Not exclusive to the USA, unfortunately.

I’m pretty sure when they say small government they just mean they want a gov that isn’t strong enough to keep them from being the assholes they really are.

Because all those “minimal State” parties are usually corporate beaurocracy parties.

Maybe except anarcho-comunists, they are for “no State at all” or direct democracy.

Well, without knowing it, they are for a very strong dictatorial government.

Look you can call me any name in the book. The current where children can easily form para social relationships with what are essentially pornstars and it’s extremely easy for teenagers to become sex workers isn’t healthy.

I’m not saying Hawley is right but there needs to be some real effort to address this.

Weak statement about the party that is LITERALLY banning books and writing laws against teachers discussing objective historical fact in classrooms across the country.

Not to mention the main point you’d ignored/missed while skimming the headline, which is that pornography is first amendment protected speech according to the law and the gop have been actively working to ban it, as a pillar of their party, for over 50 years at this point.

Or even secretly renting hookers and escorts, even if they are gay or trans.
